SPECIAL mechanics

First time out of the vault
Hello.

Is there any reference manual with complete SPECIAL system (prefferably Fallout 2 version) mechanics described? I know that Fallout is based on d20 system now called Exodus but I don't know how close it is to the one actually used in-game. Can that type of information be obtained in any way? Or are there any projects aiming to recreate a complete pen-and-paper RPG from the information available about the game?

Thank you for your help.
 
They're in the Files section. Google Fallout PNP rules. They outline the rules fairly similar to the game's if not exactly like because it was tweaked for PNP use.

And Fallout was originally based on GURPS, but when that fell through, they made up SPECIAL, which, AFAIK, was never intended to be d20, especially considering Fallout PNP uses percentage dice.
 
Thank you very much. I feel stupid now for not finding this out myself. ;) I'll definitely look into Fallout PNP 2.0 (since 3.0 versiion doesn't seem to be complete yet).
 
I doubt it ever will. Address in the book no longer works (and it's inaccurate in a couple of small things; that's what I contacted him about).

I was also under the impression that Exodus was d20 adaptation of SPECIAL that went to lengths to ensure they weren't sued by Interplay. This is word of mouth though, so I don't know for a fact or anything.

They seem to have a collaborative wiki for 3.0 but nowhere there is stated how much is done and what is still missing.
